DON’T VOTE FOR TOKIOKA, SAGUM OR KOUCHI FOR STATE LEGISLATURE OR INOUYE FOR US SENATE
(PNN) -- Jimmy Tokioka (State House 15th), Roland Sagum (State House 16th), Ron Kouchi (State Senate 7th) and Daniel Inouye (US Senate) are some of the most objectionable reprehensible people on the Kaua`i ballot and we urge voters to vote for their opponents in the Democratic Primary September 18.
While their opponents- Rhoda Libre (House 14th) Dee Morikawa (House 15th) John Sydney Yamane (Senate 7th) and Andy Woerner (US Senate)- are unknown quantities and we can’t really say they would support the issues we hold dear or be great legislators but they certainly cannot be or do any worse.
Tokioka- a former Republican councilmember who opportunistically switched parties when he ran for the legislature- is a racist philanderer who has been a thorn in the side of the controlled growth, progressive community for more than a decade. Among his other offenses at the legislature was his obstinate opposition to civil rights during the civil unions debacle.
Sagum is a developer who also opposed civil unions and recently even represented the owner of infamous north shore mansion “farm dwelling” before the planning commissions.
Kouchi has had a long history on the council, leading the land-rape efforts during the 90’s- before acknowledging his shameful actions, claiming he had “reformed” when he ran for mayor- then moving on to represent the latest developer of the old Westin property in a huge zoning giveaway disguised as a gift of un-developable coastal land to the county.
Inouye, the old war monger, needs no introduction to those who have opposed his single handed militaristic buildup in Hawai`i for many decades. He’s been a mainstay in the theft of Hawaiian lands for generations and a key cog in the genocide. Twenty years ago he led the Democratic effort in the senate to ignore Ronald Reagan’s Iran contra involvement.
Libre, Morikawa, Yamane and Woerner have given us a choice. Let’s take advantage of it.

Okay, so the support goes out to Yamane, is this based on the fact that you know him? Does he really possess the stamina it will take to go all the way? What leadership skills does he or has he demonstrated besides attending meetings? What about the other four that are running? Are they of a lesser quality? Or is one of those I reserve the right to pick a Senator because I know his name and seen him around? Let’s look at this logically; every one of those that are running for the Senate District 7 is a better choice than Kouchi. Yamane is hoping and has been communicating that he is a local boy, which is why everyone should vote for him. So this is the buy local ad? Yamane will not be the strong choice, he is not a strong leader, but he is a follower. Let us get a good solid 20/20 vision here. Freedom of speech and choice.
Time to READ clearly- Yamane is the only other Democrat on the ballot Saturday.
